KNOW YOUR EDITS

How speech cleanup works

01 / Analyze

Find quiet gaps accurately

Silence detection uses measured signal energy. Pauses near timed words are excluded, so proposed cuts do not automatically erase speech detected by the transcript.

02 / Review

Keep editorial control

Filler words are proposed when reliable word timestamps exist. Repetitions and false starts are suggestions, not automatic deletions. Listen and decide.

03 / Export

Get editable decisions

Download an edited WAV, timed SRT/VTT captions, text transcript and a reopenable JSON edit decision list. Original files remain unchanged. No paid API or audio-upload backend is involved.

Frequently asked questions

Does this automatically transcribe every recording?

No. Optional local Whisper transcription depends on browser compatibility, first-time model downloads, device memory and language. Importing an existing timed transcript is always available.

Can SRT subtitles be used for removing filler words?

SRT/VTT contain cue timestamps, usually covering sentences. The editor imports them but does not assume exact word timings. You can still make manual cuts and detect true quiet pauses.

Will cuts sound completely seamless?

Short configurable crossfades help soften abrupt joins. They do not guarantee natural phrasing, especially within a word or in noisy recordings. Preview your edits before exporting.

Are recordings sent to a cloud service?

No. Decoding, silence detection and WAV rendering occur in this browser. Optional Whisper downloads model files from a public host, but sends no audio to that host.

Using AI Speech Cleanup Editor

Import a recording and optional timed transcript or request experimental transcription. Analyze, review every suggested removal and adjust manual cuts before rendering and listening. Save the edit plan with the matching original audio.

Offline energy analysis is conventional; experimental ASR downloads a model/runtime and supports shorter recordings. Cue-level subtitles are not word timing and cannot justify precise filler cuts. Caption export omits partly cut entries rather than inventing timing. Sampled fingerprints are not authentication; fallback matching can use filename/duration with warnings. Projects contain no audio or autosaved drafts. Resource limits and browser decoding apply.

Review transcript and silence suggestions before cutting audio

Import a recording and optionally captions or Whisper text, analyze quiet intervals and word-timed suggestions, then make manual edits and preview the cuts. The editor does not overwrite the original recording; export the rendered WAV, captions, transcript or edit plan you need.

Example workflow

  1. Keep the original audio and load a supported recording; add captions or request the optional short-recording transcription if useful.
  2. Review each suggested cut against the waveform and audio. Treat sentence-level SRT/VTT cues as broad references, not word-level timing.
  3. Adjust cut boundaries and crossfades, preview the result, then export WAV and any transcript/caption files. Reopen an edit plan only with the matching original recording.

Authored example: In a spoken interview, inspect a long pause that follows a guest's answer. Keep a quiet breath or word onset if removing it changes the phrasing, then replay the join before rendering.

Limits and model handling: Quiet-interval detection is conventional; optional English Whisper downloads runtime/model assets after explicit transcription setup and supports shorter recordings. Crossfades can soften joins but do not guarantee natural phrasing. Partly cut SRT/VTT cues are omitted rather than assigned invented times. Edit-plan JSON contains no audio or autosaved draft; sampled fingerprints are not authentication and resource/browser-decoding limits apply.

AI Speech Cleanup Editor questions

Can sentence-level captions identify exact filler-word cuts?

No. SRT/VTT cues often span sentences and are not word timings. Review the audio and set precise cuts manually.

Does the saved edit plan include the recording?

No. The plan must be used with the matching original audio. Keep that source file separately.

LOCAL AI SETUP

Set up AI on this device

First, a model needs to be loaded on your device

Speech Cleanup Editor uses a free Whisper Tiny English speech-recognition model through Transformers.js. After explicit consent, model and runtime files download from public hosts. Your recording is processed locally; no audio is sent to an inference server.

  1. 1. Check device
  2. 2. Download / cache
  3. 3. Initialize Whisper
  4. 4. Transcribe audio
Whisper Tiny English is a transcription model, not a denoiser. Use local silence removal without AI anytime.

ONE ACTION · ALL RECOGNIZED AI MODEL DOWNLOADS

Free AI model storage across PixelOkay

Scan this exact website origin for recognized WebLLM, Transformers.js Whisper, and other safely identifiable model caches (including those from other PixelOkay tools). This does not clear general website data or browser databases.

Cache status has not been checked yet.

Run a scan to see how many model caches can be cleared together.

Browser-native models and unknown IndexedDB/OPFS or private runtime caches may remain. Unknown application/user storage will not be deleted. Other running tools might redownload caches; close their tabs first.

Having trouble downloading or loading AI?

If loading fails, retry, check your network or inspect model caches. When worker/WASM is unavailable, import a timed transcript and continue without AI.

Only model caches are targeted. Other PixelOkay tools may need to redownload their models. Never clear all website data without exporting important chats and projects first.

Delete recognized AI model downloads?

Only independently recognizable model caches are targeted. Other PixelOkay tools may need to redownload models. Saved transcript edits, source audio, files, and browser databases are not selected, but unknown stores are not inspected or removed.
